“THE NORTH WEST PROVIDES ACCESS TO A WORKING POPULATION OF AROUND 6.9 MILLION”
The Omega site has access to a vast business workforce of around 23 million people that can reach the site within a 2-hour commute time.
The North West region has one of the largest volumes of residential and working populations in the UK of around 6.9 million, and houses the UK’s second financial city.
The North West benefits from an extremely employable and educated workforce. The region’s 15 universities provide excellence in education, which is reflected in the growth of ICT, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals sectors in the region, and the number of graduates staying in the area and helping to develop new business in these sectors.
Omega’s sub-region (Warrington, Halton, Knowsley, St Helen’s and Wigan) is home to over 28,000 businesses ranging from traditional industries to emerging new sectors.
